Get Your Sh*# Together

I never thought that one of my dads favorite sayings when I was a high school athlete would ever be a blog title.  This morning I could hear my father as sat on the floor of the gym with a low blood sugar that I could have easily avoided.  For those that think my dads were harsh, he knows me and knew what made me tick, I needed comments like this to realize I was doing horrible and needed to step back and calm down.

Waking up with a blood sugar of 243 at 4:46am was not how I envisioned my first day at the gym.  I stood and stared at the meter, do I take insulin or go to the gym and let the activity solve the problem.  Like an idiot I took 1.2 units of insulin had a little coffee a granola bar and off I went.  As I got to the gym I was bouncing off the wall and ready to kick some ass.  After ten minutes on the bike I felt off and decided to call it quits and go do some weight work for my shoulder.  My "coach" showed me some amazing stretches and strength drills. I began the activities and immediately started to sweat.  Not from the work I was doing but from my blood sugar plummeting, like a fool I kept going.  I figured it was the coffee because my pump read 102 but had two down arrows.  I continued to sweat and sat down.  Over comes the coach and asks whats up, a simple "blood sugar" was my answer.  He knew what that meant and offered me a muffin.  I declined and sat there before going to get something to fix the low.  I would eventually bounce back but by then it was time to get to work.

I need to get my shit together.  I hold myself to a very high standard and I can't explain how angry this morning makes me.  I know better, this low should have never happened.  The good news is that tomorrow is a new day!!  Learn from mistakes and remember that it is all good mental training!!
